Amazing experience

After spending two years teaching English abroad, I was highly motivated to formalise my experience by earning a certificate. Enrolling in this online course turned out to be an excellent decision. The platform was incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to stay organised and focused throughout the program. I especially appreciated the wide variety of exercises, which catered to different learning styles and kept the content engaging and dynamic. The course structure was clear, well-paced, and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to follow even for someone with a busy schedule. Overall, I found the experience both enriching and rewarding, and I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to further their skills and qualifications in a flexible, online format.

Great opportunity for every teacher!

TEFL Academy provides a great opportunity for every teacher to meet their goals and excel professionally. By being flexible, learners have a wide range of opportunities to do assessments and also to watch videos. One of the defining features of the academy is their willingness to help others, with a prepared group of workers always on hand. Additionally, the reviews of the writen work are clear, concise, and understandable, which help students grow. I am very happy to have taken this course and excited to see where it will lead me in my professional life.

Why I chose TEFL while living in Germany

I recently completed the TEFL Level 5 course as part of my goal to broaden my career opportunities, particularly since I’ve been living in Germany for the past two years. Moving to a new country has inspired me to seek professional paths that are both flexible and internationally relevant, and teaching English felt like a natural fit.
The course provided a comprehensive and well-structured foundation in teaching English as a foreign language. It covered essential topics such as grammar, lesson planning, classroom management, and different teaching methodologies. I especially appreciated the balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application, which made the learning process both engaging and effective.
Throughout the course, I developed a deeper understanding of how to support language learners of various ages and backgrounds. It also helped me build the confidence and skills necessary to begin teaching, whether in traditional classrooms or online platforms.
Now, I feel much more prepared to take on new challenges and explore teaching opportunities that align with my lifestyle and goals. This certification has opened doors to meaningful work that I can pursue not only in Germany, but potentially anywhere in the world.

Teaching is more than education - it's a lifestyle

Through the TEFL course, I had the opportunity to explore a wide range of teaching methodologies, which allowed me to understand the different ways students learn and how to adapt my teaching style accordingly. I deepened my understanding of effective teaching techniques, from lesson planning and classroom management to engaging students through interactive and communicative approaches. Additionally, the course helped me significantly improve my own proficiency in the English language, while also equipping me with the tools to share my enthusiasm and passion for English in a clear, inspiring, and impactful way. This experience has greatly contributed to my growth as both a language learner and an aspiring teacher.

I enjoyed this course

I would definitely recommend this course, especially if there are no other options to complete it fully in-person. The content is relevant and current. Support is there if you need it. It's harder than I expected it would be - especially as a native English speaker and journalist - but I like that it was challenging. I am excited to begin my teaching journey and this course was an excellent starting point. As a New Zealander, my only disappointment is that although I'm highly experienced and qualified in my journalism/communications career, I don't have a university degree, so that limits where I can apply for jobs.

What was your funniest moment?
The in-person teaching practice day was fun, meeting the other TEFL students, we had some funny moments.
Pros
  • Flexible
  • Convenient
  • Current and relevant
What other participants should know
  • Can be isolating not being in an actual classroom
  • Can be difficult not having a teacher in-person
  • Harder to complete if working full time - but doable.

Excellent online course

I did a lot of research before choosing this provider and I’m glad I did. I did the online level 5 TEFL course and it was excellent.

Lots of detailed and practical modules which built up your knowledge. No need for any pre existing knowledge or teaching experience. Lots of real life examples given and helpful materials to use in future.

There were 3 assignments which were very thorough, marked by humans, and were challenging. Detailed, helpful feedback was provided. I feel they really tested my ability to prepare and deliver a real lesson. Excellent course overall. Thoroughly recommend

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Do the course when you have at least a month where you can devote significant time to it. I kept starting and stopping which was much harder. Doing it all in one stretch would be easier
Pros
  • Good value
  • Do whenever suits you
  • Good feedback
What other participants should know
  • Not much focus on using ai in classroom
  • Some of module questions to test knowledge were a bit random

My best experience learning online!

TEFL course (level 5) of TTA is an excellently structured course to follow with admirable student support! Loved the experience and their flexibility specially! I could just submit my last assignment just two days prior to the day of expiration of my course. But TTF offered me a time extension on goodwill as it was my last assignment! If you are planning to follow this, remember time flies, u gotta submit your assignments 14 days prior to your expiry date. Finally, thanks to TTA, um TEFL qualified happy soul! :)

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
After submitting my final assignment just 2 days prior to the day of expiration, getting to know that I was supposed to submit it at least 14 days before.
Pros
  • Very convenient
  • Excellent course content
